Airports say no to sexy Pamela Anderson PETA commercial
'Cruelty Doesn't Fly'-Learn More at PETA.org.
PETA - the organization that fights for animal rights, is in the news again. This time, it is because one of their commercials has been banned from airport TV's.
The animal rights fighters created a TV spot featuring Pamela Anderson, with the purpose of trying to convince people not to wear animal products. Their message is that "Cruelty doesn't fly", and that wearing skins, fur, leather or wool is not OK.
I can understand their objections to fur or exotic skins, but wool? Seriously? As is usually the case with PETA, they paint a pretty gruesome picture of how animals are treated.
According to PETA, they had planned to run the ad on CNN airport edition, but were told that it was "too racy" - watch the video above, and let us know in the comments whether you think it is appropriate to be played on airport TV's.

PETA is like drunken guy in a party. Just let them ramble their stupid s*hit and wish they just would go away because if you yell at them they make it look like YOU'RE the a-hole.

Inane, stupid and bizarre don't begin to describe this! Guess I have to burn my wool jackets now. Bottom line, NEVER TRUST A ZEALOT.

Probably not appropriate for America, though it's no big deal in general.
Wool?!

What a big pile of steaming (fake) dog poo.
That's not suitable for ANY audience (well, one with standards anyway)

I'd love to see this but, America, founded by religious fanatics too extreme to practice religion in their own country, would find this too racy for TV (although not after 10 pm or on Cable or on Pay Per View).

Yeah, not appropriate for TV in public waiting spaces.
PETA = People Eating Tasty Animals.

Personally, PETA is like the Anti-drug and smoking people. They'll come up with ridiculous and stupid ideas to try to convince people to believe in what they want.
*Is it bad if I thought the 2nd commercial was funny?

PETA knows that their ads are inappropriate, they do publicity stunts like this solely for attention.

PETA may have started out with good intentions, but now they're just like any other radical fringe group that has no connection to regular, everyday working people. I wouldn't want my kids seeing that crap in an airport or anywhere. It's practically porn.

Although I am repulsed by the slaughtering of animals for their skins, as usual PETA goes overboard. Definitely too racey.

peta and those ads are so damn lame now i want to go hunting.
annie Sep 12th 2009 7:24AM
I agree, this is to racy for public viewing. Try explaining what is going on to a 3 year old. Did PETA think of that? They have gone a little overboard with their advertising and trying to shove their way of thinking on everyone one else.
I do not condone cruelty to animals, BUT, they were put on this earth to feed and cloth us.

I suspect that a grizzly bear, coming across you in the forest, might have a different take on the situation. LOL

Okay Annie, think about it. You claim that this ad could mess up your 3 year old's life but, most parents gab on cell phones instead of loving on their babies, enlists TVs as sitters, feed their kids blood and guts and hormones instead of fruits and veggies and grains, bitch at their kids for smoking and drinking while they do the same, rip their kids out of bed at 5am to have daycares raise them until they don't know what a real home is? Now, that is what I call changing a child's DNA. These life scaring, daily occurances are far more detrimental than a look at someone's bum. Get a life!

why would you thing another animal would be put here for us? why? maybe we are put here for lions and tigers and bears to feed them! what a stupid thing to say,

Are you kidding?! In an airport?!!!
Jane Sep 12th 2009 8:09AM
This Ad belongs in a Strip Club not a public airport. What sexed crazed pervert is running PETA's marketing department?

I wonder how long it took to digitally remove pam's spider veins? This ad has some humouristic appeal but i don't think it's appropriate as a legitimate ad.

Peta is freaking sick in the heads for thinking up this crap with the bloody animals. They are worse than anyone. They throw puppies in the trash because the get to many animals and don't know what do with them so they kill the and throw them away by the bag full. Biggest hypocrites I've ever seen!!!!!
